hi Dina,

Thanks for your response.

Dr. Huron is a developmental ped in the ph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital.

(her card says she is the Section Chief, Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

and Director, Institute for Child Development).

I believe Dr. is part of the Tomorrow's Children Institute for Cancer

and Blood Disorders (also part of Hackensack U).

do you remember the name of the dev ped you saw??

thanks again,

Rima

Rima- how old is your child? what issues do YOU believe your child to have? we

saw dr huron two years back, she was okay for a first run, but I always feel the

need for a second, third..lol..opinion. She grouped much of what the other

therapists had said in their eval and went with that in her report. Her reports

are vague (or perhaps my child too young under age 2).

On the other hand, everyone raves about her and even other hospitals think she

is fine. Guess depends on what you are looking for in your report. Do you want

to detail more for what you are looking for or what happened? or didnt happen?

Hi -

I don't remember the name but it was a woman of indian decent. I didn't

like her. I remember my son was crying the whole time and she proceeded

to try to give me a diagnosis. I don't know how any doctor can give you

a diagnosis within the first hour of seeing a child, if all that child

is doing is crying. To this day he does not like going to the dr. and I

don't blame him. My son has seen Dr. , but he doesn't take my

insurance anymore.

Thanks Ivy. That's exactly what i thought about her - vague and seems to group

what's already been said. She did offer a little more verbally, but i don't

have a report yet (too soon).

to answer your questions, he is almost 16 months old now. I believe he MAY have

apraxia (which is why i'm on this listserv). still hoping to hear otherwise,

but getting what services i can in the meantime. It's so frustrating that no

one will talk about apraxia at his age.

is there a developmental ped you would recommend?

thanks again,

Rima

Hi Dina,

i don't think this is the same dev ped. Dr. Huron was very good with my son and

was frank about not making a diagnosis at that time (maybe it'll be in the

report? we'll see...)

thanks again for your responses,
